Chapter 23: dicine
Doctor, After he saw Jiang Cheng finish the second bowl of rice, Fatty said, You can slow down. No one is going to steal your food.
Jiang Cheng poured himself a bowl of soup and gurgled it down. He then put down the bowls and wiped his lips with satisfaction. By then, Fatty had barely finished half of his first bowl.
Jiang Cheng asked with a concerned tone, Why arent you eating?
Fatty looked at the two pieces of potatoes and so leaves floating in the bowl and slowly put down his chopsticks. Doctor, Im on a diet.
Alright. Jiang Cheng nodded. I wont tell you to eat anymore.
After the al, Fatty went to clean the dishes while Jiang Cheng sat at the office table. The typing noise showed his carefree nature. Fatty ca back to sit on the couch after he was done with the dishes. As he dried his hands, he asked Jiang Cheng about his job. Jiang Cheng answered easily.
Fatty blinked in confusion, Doctor, I saw a lot of dicine in the kitchen cabinets. Most of them are for physical wounds. There are also painkillers. Why do you keep so many of them? Jiang Cheng looked very healthy. Fatty felt like he even ate more than he did. The dicine was clearly not for him.
To Fattys surprise, Jiang Cheng revealed a thoughtful look. Then, he went to the kitchen to grab a painkiller patch. Jiang Cheng opened the box and took a slip out. Then, he turned around to look at Fatty judgingly. He would lower his head to look at the patch too.
Fatty was befuddled by his action. He suddenly had a bad feeling. Doctor, he asked in panic, Why are you looking at
like that?
No reason. Jiang Cheng put away the patch and replaced the box. Then, he sat back down at his table like nothing happened.
Fatty thought about what had happened in the nightmare realm and shrugged.
The afternoon passed like that. Since there was no custor, Fatty cleaned up the office and then fell asleep on the couch. When he woke up, the sky was already dark. Fatty rubbed his eyes and realised that Jiang Cheng was gone. When he failed to find Jiang Cheng in the kitchen, he woke up instantly. The sky was dark. The nightmare might descend at any mont. Without Jiang Cheng, Fatty would definitely die in the nightmare realm.
Doctor? Fatty called out. There was no response. Fatty panicked. Just as he was about to go upstairs, the front door opened, and a lanky shadow fell in. Jiang Cheng entered the room with bags and then closed the door.
Doctor! Fatty said excitedly, like he had seen hope. Where have you been?
Jiang Cheng handed the bags to Fatty. Fatty saw that they were filled with dicine, the sa kind he saw in the kitchen cabinets. These are
dicine. Jiang Cheng removed his jacket and said, Put them in the cabinets you saw in the afternoon.
Doctor, why did you buy so much dicine?
Jiang Cheng ca to the shelf with the dical docunts and pulled out a red docunt. As he flipped through it, he said, They will co in handy in the future.
Fatty was confused. There were only two of them, and neither of them was injured. Suddenly, Fatty thought about the scene in the bungalow. His legs chilled. He wondered if Jiang Cheng was a crazy kidnapper like the family from the bungalow. These dicines were prepared for him to prevent him from dying during torture. The more Fatty thought about it, the more confird he was regarding his hypothesis. Jiang Cheng was just acting all this ti. No wonder he saw through the familys conspiracy so easily. They were the sa kind of people!
Just as he tried to figure out the way to escape
Jiang Chengs voice floated over, No one will be interested in trapping and detaining a fatty.
Fatty whipped his head at Jiang Cheng. The man leaned against the table and flipped through his notes. He didnt even raise his head. Jiang Cheng turned another page and said, You can leave at any ti. But I have to warn you. Once you leave that door, you are not coming back.
Can I really leave? Hearing that, Fatty hesitated again. The man before him was definitely different from normal, but he didnt seem like an evil person. A few seconds later, Fatty made his decision, Doctor, I think Ill stay. That way, we can look after each other. He licked his lips and asked, But can you tell
what the dicine is for?
Jiang Cheng sighed as if having solved a problem. He put away the file and lifted his head to look at Fatty, his eyes asking if he wanted to know.
Fatty nodded consecutively.
Jiang Cheng pursed his lips. After a serious consideration, he said, Okay. Ill tell you, but you cant tell anyone else. This is very important to .
Fatty was affected by Jiang Chengs words. He sat up straight and beca serious, like he was taking an oath. He believed this had sothing to do with Jiang Chengs hidden illness. When facing Chen Xiaong, he ntioned only needing 30 seconds. Perhaps he was not lying.
Fatty suddenly pitied the handso man before him. God was fair. Everyone had a pain hidden deep inside their heart. Jiang Cheng suddenly beca willing to share his secrets.
Fatty then turned to Jiang Cheng with encouragent. Doctor, Im ready. You can start now.
Okay. Jiang Cheng nodded. The bandage is to tie you up. The dical bandage is to seal up your mouth to stop him from calling for help. The painkillers will help keep you awake during the torture. I have two boxes of adrenaline here. They are so hard to find and very pricey. I might not use them on you. Jiang Cheng snapped his fingers like he had just thought of sothing. Right. I also prepared so hallucinogens to put in your water. Wait for . Ill give them for you to drink.
Fatty, ???
